2-Methyl- and 4-Methyl-D8-tetrahydrocaniiabinol: Correlation of Spatial Distinction with Cannabinoid Receptor Binding
摘要:
A high level of binding to the brain cannabinoid receptor was found for 2-methyl-Delta(8)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) while no binding was observed for 4-methyl-Delta(8)-THC. Four energy minima were found by molecular mechanics for ethyl side-chain models of Delta(8)-THC [syn- and antiperiplanar and (+/-)-orthogonal values for torsion angle C(4)-C(3)-C(alpha)-C(beta)]. The active Delta(8)-THC and 2-methyl-Delta(8)-THC molecules share a common structural feature [a relatively low energy synperiplanar value C(4)-C(3)-C(alpha)-C(beta) torsion angle conformation for the n-pentyl side chain] that is not exhibited by the inactive 4-methyl-Delta(8)-THC analogue. This spatial distinction may represent the basis for the difference in biological activity between the tn two isomers examined.

The invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis and/or purification of tetrahydro-cannabinolic acid (THCA) alkanoates and/or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) di- alkanoates. The invention also provides novel derivatives of CBDA di-alkanoates and THCA alkanoates according to Formula (I).
